I for one do favor the feature. You don't often see a story about a clone who seeks revenge on his creators, and then sets to create his own clones. And they all happen to be anime monsters.
The first movie was different: dark, forboding, and a bit atmospheric. No other Pokemon movie has come close to re-creating that. It's sure beats alot of other anime movies, that's for sure.

Wow! This really takes me back. This was the first pokemon movie I ever saw, I seen it in theaters, and when it came out on VHS, I easily watched it over 100 times. I love the opening battle between that random guy and Ash, I fell in love with Donphan after that. I also liked all the trainers that were recruited along with Ash to the island. Their teams were very cool and unique, I liked Cory's the most. Mewtwo was very cool and powerful in this movie and I liked his clone army of pokemon, I thought the stripes were cool. This was a very good movie and I will remember it forever.

The 'Pikachu' movie in the start was really cool.
I loved Mew, he's so cute! And powerful.
Mewtwo's telekinetic and telepathic abilities was so powerful!

The storyline was quite origanal - a pokemon wanting to clone pokemon of some of the best trainers? And challenging them all?! If it wasn't for Ash's ridiculous impulsiveness, who knows what could have happened?

This is one of my favorite pokemon movies mainly because Mewtwo is my favorite pokemon but also because of the nostalgia. I remember seeing this in theatres when I was 9 and it still entertains me. I'm still hoping to see the japanese version though.

If you rooted for Dawn during A Grand Fight For Winning even though you knew she'd lose, then copy and paste this in your signature.

I watched the entire dub again for the first time in close to ten years about a month ago. It has aged remarkably well for me.

Seriously, aside from the plot dying once Mewtwo begins the mass cloning and Mew's irrelevance (As huge a black mark those two are), the movie did everything I would expect of a Pokemon anime movie.

Ash is powerless but unafraid, swept up in anime movie buildup. Mewtwo has a reasonable cause. The show's cheap animation works surprisingly well on movie film. The movie takes the nearly 80 episodes it assumes it's viewers have watched and spits on them; all those amazing monsters you've seen? Worthless Toys. Given what we see in Mewtwo Returns, Mewtwo's change of heart is about the only way the movie could positively end. The English soundtrack, sans Brother my Brother, was fantastic- even the cash-in pop songs chosen for the credits made a decent ending theme, given how ridiculous the average anime song is. That and the really bad ones were just on the CD.

Now if only I could find the Japanese BGM, I've heard all the vocals.

My gosh would I want to hear about how they were going to write that. The amount of closure that would bring RBY to a guy who thinks too much into Stadium's being the last add-on to the Game Boy games would be ridiculous. Almost inspiring a(n inevitably bad) fanfic, I'm liking that premise so much.

I really liked this movie. Nothing cooler to me than a movie with both Mew and Mewtwo featured . The battles were cool, but sad to watch at the same time... I liked how Ash had the courage to stand up to Mewtwo and stand up for all of the other Pokemon. I'm glad Mewtwo finally changed its opinion of Humans and Pokemon.
